The unified namespace is the next iteration in the Industrial Internet of Things’ (IIoT’s) digital transformation. A unified namespace is a single source of truth for IIoT data. It combines components from the pyramidal network-and-system ISA 95 functional model with

As the world moves towards greater digitalization and the convergence of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology), the battery manufacturing industry is experiencing a significant shift towards smarter manufacturing processes. In a recent interview with Brenda Discher, SVP, Business

The OT environment is different from the IT environment in many ways, with proprietary and multi-vendor systems that require a specialized approach. The existing managed security services are generally inadequate as they are focused on IT rather than OT, and

“Timely and secure information sharing can bridge the gap between vulnerability and security.” This was a key message from a webinar on ICS & OT Supply Chain Risk Management presented by Information Security Media Group. The webinar discussed how Industrial Controls Systems (ICS)

A good portion of existing operational technology (OT) networks were originally built during the air gap days, where isolation from other enterprise systems made for sufficient security. As digital transformation initiatives drive IT and OT networks towards convergence, the result

As recent cyberattacks have demonstrated increased risk to both IT and operational technology (OT) environments, resilience readiness today has evolved. It is more than a cybersecurity strategy and involves the enforcement of rules and policies that provide the visibility, control,

Earlier this year, a colleague of mine and I were on our way to the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona. Although we made our connecting flights, a couple of minutes after deplaning, we received emails and texts from the airline informing

A new report on Operational Technology (OT) equipment flaws from automated cybersecurity software company Forescout outlines the alarming state of OT security. The report titled OT:ICEFALL was crafted by researchers at the company’s Vedere lab. It breaks down 56 vulnerabilities

A database on the edge can open doors to enhanced IT and OT operations. The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are no longer vague concepts. They are part of a movement that is transforming
